“If we are in Katoomba again we're staying here!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 May 2013

Not the greatest looking hotel from the outside was the only negative about this hotel, The room was spacious, clean and comfortable.The continental breakfast in the restaurant was delicious, plenty to choose from and the fresh fruit was exactly that Fresh! The staff were very friendly and were very informative about the area, including where to eat dinner.

“Great value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2013 via mobile

All the reviews on this place are fairly accurate - which is good as it was the reason we booked it!! It's got everything you need, is very clean and great value for money. The owners are fantastic and will help out with anything you need - including free DVDs at the front counter!

“Very friendly family run motel”

However at check-in, and the owners were really friendly and helpful. When we got to our room it was very clean, and had everything we needed - including... More

“ok”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 February 2013

The hotel was clean and tidy and I suspect reasonably priced for the area but not really anything special. I stayed there because it was near where I needed to go but in hindsight I'd probably choose something further away with more atmosphere. Bed was comfortable. Neighbours were noisy but that's not the hotel owners fault!
